What would I use for the site prefix, just "fc00"? And what would the length be?
I tried and it says that it is invalid. It accepts "fc00::", which is then changed to "fC00:0:0:0::", with dhcp6. But in that case, the configuration allows me to assign addresses to MACs for IPv4, but not 6. I would then have to use static IPv6 only.
There is absolutely no difference between fc00:: and fc00:0:0:0::, as :: denotes a continuous string of "0". However, they appear to want a full 64 bits specified for the site prefix. If it works, go with what they want.
I can change that number, it is editable. But I do not know what to write there. O:-)

That would be how computers on your network are assigned addresses. Also, link local addresses are not assigned with either of those methods. On my network, router advertisements (RADVD) are used to pass the address info to the computers. The host address is then built with that info and the MAC address or random number. I do not use DHCPv6.
Right, but you have an outside IPv6 address, or a tunnel. I don't have one.

As I have never worked with that router, I really can't say much about configuring it. However, assigning static addresses is easy in openSUSE. Just go into the network devices, as you would for IPv4 and add an address alias with the desired IPv6 address and subnet mask. I did that here and now ifconfig shows "inet6 addr: fc00::1/64 Scope:Global". I also set up fc00::2 on another computer and can ping6 between them with those addresses.
If I set an static address for the computer, I would also need a static one for the router (so that I can write it on the computer routing table), and the router does not allow it... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
